[exram1930]

RICHARD NIXON WAS A GREAT MAN AND PRESIDENT

"Politics would be a helluva good business if it weren't for the goddamned people"

- Richard Nixon

@lago4 Where'd you get that quote from?

[GusF]

@lago4 Was he including himself in that?

[ninher]

It's strange watching this knowing all the awful things he did and stood for. Nixon wasn't a good guy--it's interesting to watch his acting skills at work.

[WrathMania]

Nixon was Gandhi compared to Bush.

[ljdabc]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. Pity cant buy it on DVD.

[BajaBill2009]

I generally agree that Nixon really was successful on so many issues. He was the first one to get "caught"/

[Icedude91]

You call Obama a sociopath but think Knixon was a better man? Dude fuck you!

[iamdiaperman]

Dear people: I am glad people are writing positively about President Nixon. He faced so many battles and won them all except the one that was unwinnable, no matter if he was or not involved. God Bless President Nixon ! I sell Japanese made guitars and if you need one email me. Oh, who am I? I called President Nixon `Great Uncle Richard` :-)

[TBlake34]

Ah, if ONLY his attorney had been allowed to speak.

In retrospect his argument about popular opinion is incredibly naive. Clinton's personal popularity GREW through the impeachment process but that didn't stop the vile panty-sniffers in the republican party from moving forward.

[geekorthodox9]

It is an interesting note made around 5:00 that implies the control of television appearances by the congress, an instance that may not hold true today in the era of cspan and other 24/7 news cycle media vehicles.

[DaBearsRockMySox]

let's be honest, ALL politicians are crooked in one way or another. i'm not condoning president Nixon or anything i'm just saying.

[vccstudents]

It's a shame he wasn't this relaxed with the media when he was President. He was his own worst enemy!

[goonigoogoo]

He's not the first or last politician that's crooked. Accept it. He is better than most

[harkyo]

better at being crooked? Agreed. He was the Mafia's president.

[dpman72]

No honor in politics. None.

[JCream34]

Wow! Who's this relaxed casual guy pretending to be Nixon!!

[AtticusEagle]

What a contrived fake man.

[StuartGalore]

All politicians lie...all of them I do not care who they are.

[WhatsUpWithOurWorld]

Nixon was the best president in the world

[clownman888]

same way I feel

[ggggroucho]

well he was very intelligent, i can see that, but he got caught, unfortunately

[markbart]

He gives a good interview, but the man lies through his teeth.

[vivthefree]

It's not so much the lies, but the casual way he speaks about his criminal activities that bothers me.

[clownman888]

you know why ? its becauswe he knew nothing about watergate

[vivthefree]

Why did he resign? Why did he get a Presidential pardon? What innocent politician needs to resign or to be pardoned. I don't believe he knew nothing about Watergate.

[wardenphil]

You are absolutely correct. Some of the tapes place him in the room when illegal acts were being discussed - making him an accessory at the very least.

[haleysman92]

he's the one that started WATERGATE

[hoppercap]

Kind of like Clinton?

[vivthefree]

Clinton was and is a casual liar (I'm not sure he is as talented as Nixon was), but his crimes were nothing in comparison to Nixon's.

[NewWaveFan1]

What crimes? Bush committed the worst crimes in U.S. history.

[tag385]

Say what you want about Richard Nixson, but I find this man to ironicly be one of the most candid president's in an interview.

[darius595]

Wow, i guess the definition of candid has changed, i thought it meant telling the truth.

[segn66]

Then you need to refer to a dictionary

[ankenney]

I agree. I find him quite fascinating.
